Green Dot, however, seems to be a real scam. They unionize, but recognize neither tenure nor seniority rights. They have a "just cause" clause for dismissal in the contract, but without seniority rights, they can fire senior people whenever enrollment is down. <BR/><BR/>Also, "just cause" in CA, where Green Dot is, is nothing remotely as good as tenure. I've yet to hear, though, that they've actually tested their "just cause" procedure, let alone whether it's actually protected any working teacher.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132951117640035190.post-37822091053810441662008-09-14T21:21:00.000-04:002008-09-14T21:21:00.000-04:00You're correct, Woodlass.

Where are the stories about how the union is handling the ATR problem or how many teachers in the "rubber room" under 3020-a charges were sent back after the UFT/DOE July 2 agreement?<BR/><BR/>How about increased UFT attention to abusing principals?
